Four years ago, Sony Pictures Animation and Netflix announced they were collaborating on a new animated series for the "Ghostbusters" franchise. Two years ago, they further revealed plans for the first "Ghostbusters" animated film, with Kris Pearn, who previously directed "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" for Sony, at the helm. Now, two more years later, the animated series first announced is finally nearing its debut.

To commemorate the long-standing official "Ghostbusters" Day (June 8, marking the 1984 release of the original film), Sony Pictures hosted a special event this Saturday at Hook & Ladder 8, the iconic New York City firehouse that serves as the franchise's headquarters. Jason Reitman, director of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," and screenwriter Gil Kenan were on hand to announce that the animated series, officially titled "Ghostbusters: Night Shift," will premiere on Netflix next year. The show's exclusive new logo was also unveiled at the event (pictured above).
